Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were in the house, as things got a little wild for Civil Action. Buddy Luv informed fans that with the lead up to Kingdom Come so short, neither Triple H or Marz would be in the arena. Plus a huge headlining match for the evening pitting the tag team champions against one of their opponents on the weekend.

Shaggy 2 Dope headed to the ring to take on Shannon Moore. Shannon Moore heading to the ring after an extensive tenure in NMW with Matt Hardy and Lita. The two superstars went at it hard, Moore using his high flying skills to tip the scales. A flying head scissors turned the tables of the match, but Shaggy 2 Dope continued the offensive, until Matt Hardy and Lita made an unexpected run-in, with Lita distracting the referee while Hardy took Dope down with a twist of fate! Moore went off the top rope with a moonsault, and signed the win.

Backstage Violent J was in the Dark Lotus locker room with Paul Heyman. Heyman expressed his concern about tag teaming later in the night with Albert Beefcake. Heyman said that the Beefer was unreliable, and could damage his image, especially if he were to lose tonight. J told Heyman to relax, and assured him that everything would be grand and finished off with a big, "oooh what a lovely tea party!" Heyman told J that the marketing possibilities of the 'express' were all that made him approve of this, and in future he should be consulted in business decisions. Heyman let out a big, "my way, or the highway", and said they should focus on the match.

An unfamiliar theme hit as a rather large looking superstar headed to the ring. He took the opportunity to introduce himself as the ICWW's next unforgettable champion, Trojan. The Nomad's music quickly interrupted, and the world champion stepped out at the entrance way with a microphone. He asked Trojan to repeat himself because he didn't hear him over all the Nomads that were chanting his name. Trojan smiled at the champ, who responded by acknowledging that Trojan was clearly an impressive looking young star, and he had a motto that he felt was relevant in the situation, it was - say no, to new talent! Trojan called the Nomad out.

Nomad went in hard, taking Trojan doubt straight away with a world championship belt to the head before the bell sounded. Trojan struggled to his feet, giving the Nomad time to go off the ropes and take him down face first with a hard bulldog! Nomad taunted to the crowd, leaving himself open to a surprise shot to the back by the rookie superstar, but the champ managed to show the crowd why he was on top, with a hard crescent kick. He grabbed Trojan by the neck, but failed to hit the much larger man with a chokeslam. Trojan took control of the match, clamping down on the Nomad with a bear hug, before turning it into a torture rack! The Nomad managed to grab hold of the top rope, and then quickly sprung himself off the ropes with a diving forearm, sending the big man back. Nomad followed it up with a bible black, and scored the win with a little help, using the ropes for leverage. The Referee did not see the tactic, allowing Nomad to pick up the win, and then take to the fallen Trojan warrior with a steel chair! He beat down on Trojan when suddenly out of the crowd Marz jumped the rails, and made the save! Nomad retreated up the ramp raising his title, while Marz looked on from the ring.

Backstage Jauger was talking to two lovely ladies when the Rising Star, Dez Burnett approached. The king of England asked the Hitman what he was doing, and Jauger informed his small friend that he was just sharing himself with two deserving mademoiselles. Burnett laughed and told them that by sharing, he meant scamming. Burnett continued to taunt, saying all Jauger wanted was money, a place to stay, and a quick lay - and after that, like all French men he'd run away from the heat. The Hitman took great offense, and lent forward on his cane, challenging Burnett to a match.

Gwen Lucifer was leaving the mystery CEO's office when the Hurricane approached. He asked Gwen if she could help him get a match at the upcoming main event, because he was concerned about being overlooked. She asked him how he felt about fighting Twisted Sanity, and he said that there were fewer opponents he could think of that were more appropriate. She told him she'd set up the match and continued on her way when Marz stepped out of the shadows! He told her that he heard her signing the match, and asked if Chaos Drone had been overlooked because he wasn't good enough. A surprised Gwen Lucifer told Marz that it was the opinion of the company that Chaos Drone wasn't able to pull his weight. Marz pondered the situation briefly, before disappearing down the hall way.

In the ring the smooth hitman, Jauger, made his way to the ring taking less time than normal to court the ladies at ringside. The Rising Star, Dez Burnett ran his way down to the ring, looking to take it to his French rival. The two exchanged blows, before Jauger made it technical with a big vertical suplex! He stomped down on Burnett, stopping to curse him, before hitting a big leg drop. Burnett wasn't out of the game, using his uncanny speed to take Jauger down with a huge corkscrew moonsault, and followed it up with a baseball slide to the fallen Frenchman. The Hitman made it to his feet and sent Burnett into the ropes, clamping down a sleeper hold. He applied the pressure, flooring Burnett, who found himself with a last minute second-wind, which allowed him to reach the bottom rope and return the favour with a big flying drop kick! He climbed the turnbuckle and hit the 450 splash, earning the cover. Burnett stole Jauger's hat, wearing it as he skipped to the back.

Gwen Lucifer returned to her office, only to find Paul Heyman waiting patiently. He commented on the big headlining main event match between the Nomad, and the immensely popular Marz, proclaiming his shock at the popularity levels of Juggalos. He said at this point in time in ICWW, Dark Lotus are some of the most marketable superstars, which was evident in the impressive sales of Team Extreme posters. He asked Gwen Lucifer to imagine a promotion where Violent J was international champion, and Marz was heavyweight, and Chaos Drone and Shaggy 2 Dope held the tag team titles. Gwen told Heyman that the tag team match was about to begin, and he should get out there. Heyman nodded and left, but told Lucifer to think about it.

The tag team champions headed down to the ring to a popular response, Shamrock confidently heading to his apron corner while they awaited their opponents, Albert Beefcake and Violent J. Albert started proceedings, going on the attack with a coco butt, but Statix wasn't set back, using the momentum of the attack to roll back off the ropes and come back with a handspring attack. Albert made the tag to the Y2Juggalo, who took Statix down with a hard t-bone suplex. Statix jumped to his feet and looked at Violent J, who looked out to the crowd, nodded and did the J-arooni right in the middle of the ring! The crowd, and Heyman, went wild as Statix took J down from behind with a modified rolling thunder. J and Statix made tags, allowing Shamrock to open up on bother Albert Beefcake and Violent J! Heyman jumped into the ring to stop the assault, but got thrown out over the top by both Statix and Shamrock! Albert managed to capitalize on the distraction, taking Shamrock down with an Albo bomb, and again tagging Violent J in. J picked Shamrock up and locked up for a belly to belly suplex, only to have Shamrock counter it! He tagged in Statix who hit the static slam, and made the cover!

Albert, J and Heyman staggered on the outside as the tag team champions stood tall, loud and proud in the ring, pointing to their tag team championship belts while standing on the turnbuckles as Civil Action came to an end.
